Everyone can get mad at me for sounding like a broken record but whenever I look at this picture I just want them to start the third Tower 🥺🥺 they have done so well on this project minus the street level that we all complain about and I can actually agree with from the couple times I've been down there it is pretty sterile would love for the project to get finished so we can start getting the street level back to livable and not feeling like a never-ending construction site though I feel like that is what it truly feels like to live in Toronto, 🤣🤣

Maybe this is a stupid question, but is there any chance this 106th "amenity" level could be some kind of public observation deck? From what I know amenity is just intended for building residents, but I would like to keep some hope...
With The One's skygarden/observation deck being likely cancelled (?) due to Tridel not building to the full height, there will continue to be an absence of observation decks in Toronto besides the CN Tower (as well as City Hall's observation floor and TD Centre's 54th floor during Doors Open, can't wait to check those out this year). It would be awesome if Skytower could change that, but maybe that's just naive daydreaming....

There is no chance of Pinnacle One Yonge's SkyTower having a public observation deck, just as there has never been any chance of The One/One Bloor West having one either. Neither building has one or more elevators dedicated to that purpose, and neither has ever had any planned for that purpose. You simply don't mix the public into standard elevators in residential towers.

If you want high vantage points in town other than what you mentioned about, you can always head to the top of a number of buildings if you're prepared for a meal, like at Canoe atop the TD Centre (so you don't need to wait for Doors Open), AP Restaurant at the Manulife Centre, Kost Restaurant atop the Bisha, Valerie atop Hotel X, the Writers Room atop the Park Hyatt, Aera's summer rooftop at The Well, and there are a pile more.

Yeah that makes sense. And thanks for the restaurant recommendations! I'll have to check them out sometime in the future.
 
^...you could always buy a drone too. And if you use it responsibly, you could get a bird's eye view of things from a higher advantage points than tops of many towers in this city.
 
Almost can fit it within this frame, but unfortunately there's a wall and a fence in the way of getting the perfect frame (taken from the waterfront)

If you don't want to splurge on a meal, there are plenty of people who just go to the bar at Canoe and have a drink after work. But you won't be right next to the window. If you go when they're not busy, they'll let you wander over to the windows, though.

I used to take my in-laws there sometimes during weekday afternoons for drinks alone, and it was not busy. We had multiple window options pretty much every time for a drink or two.
 
Was doing some plane spotting yesterday (as one does, right?) at Danville park, 6km west of the airport, right beside the 410 between the 401 and 407, and 24km away from downtown.

Firstly, One Yonge is now clearly visible immediately left of the CN tower (red band across the top), and it now has its own prominence in the skyline, using mountain terms.

Secondly, with over 30 floors still to go, my god this is going to dominate the skyline from literally every angle.

From that perspective the top of Sky Tower will look quite a bit shorter than CN Tower's observation deck (which it will match in reality), although the tower will still stand tall above the rest of the skyline.

It shouldn't be that different honestly, it's only about a kilometre farther away than the CN Tower. From this angle, it's actually almost the exact same distance as First Canadian Place, so it will appear slightly shorter than the top of the antenna.

Yup, it’s all about perspective. This shot is from the northwest, and the Sky Tower is both further east and south than the CN Tower is.
